Classified areas devices

The mere fact that voltage, current, or even both, are at low levels does not guarantee a circuit to be intrinsically safe, even though intrinsically safe circuits do utilize relatively low voltage and current levels. Intrinsically safe systems employ electrical barriers to assure that the system remains intrinsically safe. The barriers limit the voltage and current combinations so as not to present an ignition hazard should a malfunction develop. Typically, devices upstream of barriers are not intrinsically safe and are installed in control rooms or other unclassified locations. All devices and wiring on the downstream side of the barriers are intrinsically safe and can be installed in classified areas. [Pg.524]

Figure 17-16 depicts typical devices containing arcing contacts enclosed in explosion-proof enclosures. Figure 17-17 shows typical explosion-proof alarm devices. A telephone instrument suitable for Class I, Divisions 1 and 2, Group D classified areas is shown by Figure 17-18. [Pg.525]

Space heaters, particularly in electrical motors and generators which may be idle for significant periods of time, can also help prevent the accumulation of moisture. Space heaters installed in classified areas must operate at temperatures below high temperature devices. [Pg.546]

Air intakes to heating and ventilation systems, air compressors for process, instrument and breathing air, and to prime movers for gas compressors, power generation and pumps should be located as far as practical from contamination by dust, toxic and flammable materials release sources. They should not be located in electrically classified areas. If close to possible vapor releases (as confirmed by dispersion analyses( they should be fitted with toxic or combustible gas detection devices to warn of possible air intakes hazards and snutdown and isolate the incoming air ductwork and fans. [Pg.100]

Ready to Sterilize (RtS) Typically components are washed, then rinsed with Water For Injection (WFI) to reduce bioburden and endotoxin levels, lubricated with silicone oil, and finally packaged in a classified area (Classes 100-10,000) in Tyvek bags that can be steam sterilized by the drug or device manufacturer before use. Alternately polyethylene bags may be used if the end user is utilizing gamma radiation for sterilization. [Pg.1471]

The use of a bioadhesive, polymeric dosage form for sustained dehvery raises questions about swallowing or aspirating the device. The surface area is small, and patient comfort should be addressed by designing a small (less than 2 cm ), thin (less than 0.1 mm (4 mil) thick) device that conforms to the mucosal surface. The buccal route may prove useful for peptide or protein dehvery because of the absence of protease activity in the sahva. However, the epithelium is relatively tight, based on its electrophysiological properties. An average conductance in the dog is 1 mS/cm (57) as compared to conductances of about 27 and 10 mS/cm in the small intestine and nasal mucosa, respectively (58,59) these may be classified as leaky epitheha. [Pg.226]

Air classifiers may have external or internal aerodynamic cycles. The former devices are constructed independently of dust collectors and fans and connected to them via pipelines. The internal-cycle (recirculating-air) devices contain these elements in a single unit, and hence need less production area and normally require lower investments. They have several technical shortcomings outlined in subsection 3.5. [Pg.281]

Fluorescent PET (photoinduced electron transfer) sensors are considered to be those molecular systems where the binding of ions and other species leads to the perturbation of the competition between the de-excitation pathways of fluorescence and electron transfer. The early developments in this field are traced and the design logic of these sensors is detailed. A variety of examples drawn from different areas of chemistry are classified according to the fluorophore-spacer-receptor format and their photophysical behaviour is rationalized in terms of fluorescent PET sensor principles. Cases are pointed out where such experimental data are unavailable but desirable. During these discussions, the relevance of twisted fluorophore-receptor systems and the contrast with integrated fluorophore-receptor systems is noted. The utility of the fluorescence on-ofP phenomenon in these PET sensors for the area of molecular photoionic devices is pointed out. [Pg.224]

Skimmers are mechanical devices designed to remove oil from the water surface. They vary greatly in size, application, and capacity, as well as in recovery efficiency. Skimmers are classified according to the area where they are used, for example, inshore, offshore, in shallow water, or in rivers, and by the viscosity of the oil they are intended to recover, that is heavy or light oil. [Pg.98]
